Kruder Siblings conquer iconic Verzasca Dam
second edition, attracted 24 of the world's best…
This year’s semi-final removed from the competition many well-known climbers. Starting with the 2014 Toronto winner Guillaume Glairon Mondet from France but also the Canadian idol Sean McColl, Shauna Coxsey from Great Britain, and Jakob Schubert from Austria.
In the women’s field, things were looking pretty even. Alex Puccio was very close to make it to the podium this time but Anna Stöhr took over and won gold, Akiyo Noguchi silver, and Juliane Wurm bronze.
In the men’s side, everybody at the competition was surprised due to Guillaume Glairon Mondet not being able to be in the podium this time. Fortunately Alban Levier took gold for France, Nathaniel Coleman silver from USA and Adam Ondra bronze from Czech Republic.
The next world Cup competition will be in Vail, USA, on June 5th and 6th. We are going South to continue to have these wonderful bouldering competitions.
